We shall miss this sweet lady. She enjoyed life with her family, especially her children and sweet husband Leonard. She was well taken care of by him and others. God be with all who loved her and miss her in the coming days!

I remember worshipping together at First Christian in Wellsville. Helena always took my calls when I called. Being the mother of Wayne, who was one of my closest friends in HS, she was always glad to talk about her boys and grandkids. I know all of you will miss her terribly. A better time is coming when you can rejoice together with the Lord. Love and Prayers for all of you.

Your memory will be cherished forever. You visits have become the events in our family that will continue to be shared forever. Like.... Drinking watermelon juice juice thru a straw, crafting to all hours of the night, and getting lost in our ownback yard . REST WELL....we will miss you greatly. Love sis.
